You’re probably right.

And I’m risking ordering the wrong one and having to make multiple trips

By the way, I must say I’m not totally understanding the horn assembly.

First, the white spring retainer was correct. I assembled it today.

Here is what is odd to me. With the spring and spring retainer in, and the spring fully extended, there’s electrical connectivity between the end of the rod and the backside of horn assembly.

If that’s true, isn’t the circuit already completed? Or does the horn button need to come in contact with the rod end for the circuit to complete and set off the horn? A circuit diagram would help if someone has that. Thank you

If I'm following you, I think there should be connectivity where you are seeing it. There is a fiber and thin metal disk that holds the horn button on by twisting the horn into tabs on it. The wire that runs through the steering wheel and connects to the rod attaches to the metal portion of that ring with a spade connector. It works by grounding to the steering column when the horn button is pushed, grounding the horn solenoid and sending power to the horn.
